OKAY BUT TURNS OUT I'VE ALREADY READ THIS
I'm so confused -- whoops. I've always been a huge CHERUB fan and I thought it was a little weird this was still on my tbr when I was sure I'd finished CHERUB. Turns out I actually have whoops. As soon as I started it I was like this sounds awfully familiar
Now I'm not sure if I've read the 3rd book of this series or not! Urgh, why didn't I ever track my series when I was younger

People's Republic – Robert Muchamore
So guys it's finally here, the new CHERUB adventure, People's Republic!
If you're a viewer who knows me from the cherub website you can zone out for the next 30 seconds. If you've no idea what cherub is or who Robert Muchamore might be here is a crash course.
-Switch to teacher mode-
The cherub series starts in the recruit where you're introduced to James and his half-sister Lauren. They're your stereotypical kids living in an east london estate until their mother dies and James is put into a home and Lauren goes to live with her father. Things are starting to look pretty bad for both of them until CHERUB steps in.
Cherub is a secret branch of the Government that uses children to spy. This is because although a criminal might be wary of an adult they never suspect children.
Although this is not an unfamiliar concept (teen spies are found in Alex Rider, Spy High, The Gallagher Girls) none of them as done as realistically, and thus as excitingly, as in Rob's books.
James, Lauren and all the rest of the kids and teens you meet, recruited by cherub, are very very real characters and find themselves in very real and relavent situations. Like the hidden wizarding world in Harry Potter, cherub is definitely something you can imagine really, secretly existing.
So throughout the 12 books you eagerly devour the missions the characters undertake, from infiltrating cults, to taking down drug rings, you follow James and Lauren through their entire careers. When book 12 comes and James leaves Cherub we worried for a moment that that would be the last we see of these stories. (at least in the 21st century – I'll explain the Henderson Boy's books in another video!)
But much to my excitement secret clues at the end of Shadow Wave led fans to The Arimov Trilogy, of which People's Republic is the first.
The main difference between this trilogy and the previous books is, firstly, that they focus on a completely new set of characters (although there are still a couple of cameos from some well known faces!) and secondly, that, where the cherub series had a pretty self contained mission per book, the Arimov books have one long, twisting mission that spans the entire trilogy.
So what is People's Republic about? The book starts by introducing us to our two new main characters. Ryan, a cherub agent desperate to go on his first proper mission, Ning, a girl more than fed up with Chinese boarding school. And what do the two have in common? The Arimov clan, an organisation that specialises in transporting illegal things around the world, whether those things be drugs, weapons, or people. Ryan is set the task of befriending a young boy called Ethan, the son of a member of the Arimov clan in the hopes of helping to take the organisation down. And on the other side of the world Ning's life is torn apart and she forced to flee China, dodging the arimov clan's the whole way across Asia and Europe as she tries to get to Britain.
I really, really enjoyed this book, it was /so/ exciting and /so/ unpredictable. Reading is you would definitely think the plot was going one way and then it would go somewhere completely different. You could really couldn't second guess it and it's definitely got a 'can't stop reading, need to find out what happens next' vibe.
As I mentioned before some characters from the cherub books do make background appearances and although this is a nice throw back to the original cherub fans it's in no way overpowering; if you're new to Robert Muchamore you can definitely do that with this book.
There is so much more I wanted to talk about but this video is already far too long so I'll try and make a follow up video later on, talking more indepthly about the plot and doing more comparisons with cherub. For now I'd love to hear from you in the comments if you're a cherub fan; tell me what your favourite cherub book is (for me it's definitely 6, Man vs Beast) and if you're planning on buying this book (it just came out on the 4th of August!), so comparisons to the original cherub series are definitely needed. Ning or Kerry? James or Ryan? Cherub or Arimov? I'd love to hear what you think.

4.6/5 🤠
I loved this book so much!! There was so many Texas references 🤨 Ted from Texas had a 'Don't mess with Texas' sticker. 😩 Wow babe.
The new characters in this book were really good. I thought I would miss James but it's nice to have younger characters, kinda refreshing. I don't know what purpose Chloe and Grace serve- basically duplicates 😕
Great storyline, excited to read next book 🤠🤠
Bye 😼🤠😩😼🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
EXTRA NOTE: T IS FOR texas

Niet zo leuk als de originele serie maar nog steeds top boeken
July 27, 2024
Ryan is definitely more likable than James ever was. A little more gruesome than the original series.
February 16, 2016
There were few parts of this book I really liked, the other parts were just 'meh'. Twelve year old Ryan seems to act like a twenty year old. Spy or not, it seems unbelievable someone can be that mature at the age of twelve. Whatever happened to the acne and the braces? Ning, on the other hand, seems to act more like an eleven/twelve year old, but even she has her quirks.
I think this book was just a filler for what's to come, but there was no action. I mean, yes, there was. But it wasn't enough! This was supposed to be a spy thriller, but it was not a thriller whatsoever. I was two steps ahead of the plot almost half the time.
Why I rate this three stars?
1. Ning was cool.
2. I probably liked the idea of the book more than I actually liked it.
3. Oddly enough, I do want to read the sequel, but perhaps when I have more patience.
Other than that, looking back, it was all just one big 'meh'.

This book is very similar to the original cherub series so before you read this make sure you are familiar with that. It was a good book and I would recommend it.

3,5⭐️ — Leseempfehlung🙃
January 7, 2012
I haven't bothered with the author's Henderson's Boys series, as the excerpt of Book 1 just didn't appeal. As for the CHERUB series proper, I really enjoyed it until it moved to hardcover. I properly read the first 100 pages each of Brigands M. C. and Shadow Wave, and then "sped-read" the rest (reading only the dialogue). These hardcover books are longer, and I was more interested in campus life than the missions.
I have trouble believing/relating to most teen characters in fiction, but Robert Muchamore's Cherubs are the ones I like most. They stuff up but own their mistakes, they think and behave age-appropriately, and they're funny. Admittedly, most books I read are American, so maybe these Brit kids are just a breath of fresh air. In speculative fiction (these teens are spies), the non-spec elements must be as realistic as possible so the spec bits don't require as much suspension of disbelief. Robert Muchamore has mastered the balance.
After the original CHERUB series comes People's Republic, Book 1 in this special CHERUB: Aramov Clan trilogy, with new characters as well as cameos from old favourites. Ryan Sharma travels to California, to befriend Ethan Aramov, the descendant of a Kyrgyz crime matriarch.
Meanwhile, rebellious girl Fu Ning needs to leave China fast. Escaping through Kyrgyzstan to England, Ning is captured and tortured by an Aramov Clan member, but later tests to become a CHERUB agent.
Fu Ning is an awesome teen heroine - finally, someone whose story revolves around her and not a romance/stalk. She's a boxer who becomes a stronger person mentally, and CHERUB can only improve her life.
Ryan and Ethan's story is far from over, so we have to wait until August for Book 2, Guardian Angel. People's Republic is a return to form from this great author, and this Aramov Clan instalment is a real page-turner.

i didn't really get how this mission is one of the most important missions in cherub history but wow, what a story! (i guess they were talking about the series and not the book) so, about the book. i loved it. the storyline, the characters, the characters personalities. THEY WERE ALL AWESOME. i guess it could have been more realistic, but this isn't a serious, realistic kind of book is it? its more of a teenage/kids fantasy of who they've always wanted to be and what they've always wanted to do but can't.
how awesome would it be if cherub really existed? you know, the only problem i can find with the series, is that everything is so bright and happy, that it can't be real. its not realistic. if you ask me, it all seems a bit too cheerful especially since, all these kids have messed up backgrounds and since most have killed at least one person in there cherub career. even though thats kind of part of the reason most people, including me, love the series so much. i guess, as unrealistic as their cheerfulness is, its probably a major part of why most people love it.
btw, i wonder who ryan will end up with? ning or grace? and i wonder how ethan fits into all this? and what will become of him...
anyway, if anyone out there is thinking of reading this book. STOP THINKING. JUST READ.

Words can't describe how much i love the CHERUB series. I first read 'The Recruit' for English class last year and I have been hooked ever since. It's entertaining to read so you can expect my reaction to another series would be full of excitement. The book is amazing and I can't wait to read the others that come in the future!! 5 stars definitely!!

LOVED IT!!! Best one yet

i couldn't put this book down, its a must read!!!!!!!!!!
November 7, 2019
In my opinion I think that this is a good book as it has lots of action and a good backstory ,I like how there is new agents and different countries involved . This is an action book and very exciting and is also part of a set this is the 13th book in the series and is just as good as the first one.
This story has lots of emotions as the character Ning has a very interesting experience coming to England.
The ending is happy as the main character Ning gets the role at cherub as an agent and makes some friends along the way. There is also lots more infomation about the mission towards the end of the book. It also makes you want to read the next one in the series.
I would recommend this book as it has lots of action and a good back story.

I have followed Robert muchamore’s cherub series for years and years and my battered copy of maximum security and man vs beast has followed me since middle school through 2 house moves and been read frequently and regularly. I love all of the detail and the personalities that he manages to create and followed the original series.
I wasn’t sure how the new generation of cherub would play out, losing the main characters that were focused on for years but I was pleasantly surprised that a few faces recurred from the previous series. The only part that I found a bit grating was how Ryan felt a lot older than he was but I would imagine that is because the last agents were later teens and the leap back down the preteen is a lot. All in all I still really enjoyed his work.

I like this book because it has action and emotive language, like Fu Ning’s life story before she got recruited by CHERUB, the story how she lost her parents in China and arriving in a sandwich factory in Britain.
On Ryan’s mission, Ethan almost got killed by Leonid Aramov, but sadly his Mum and friend didn’t survive. Now his only friend is Ryan- or as what he calls his ‘Guardian Angle’ because Ryan had saved his life twice. What Ethan doesn’t know is that Ryan is an undercover spy who’s infiltrating him to get information of the Aramov clan.

This book is very thrilling and exciting. It is in the action genre. It is the second series. I really liked the book because it is full of fun action scenes. The ending to the book is really good when the gang of people smugglers is caught and Ning is allowed to join cherub. I would recommend this book.
December 31, 2021
The Cherub books were a fav of mine as a teen and a new series seemed a good Xmas deadzone pick. As a grown up, a few lazy stereotypes bothered me. All the boys are a bit laddy and lechy, the girls tend to be hot and have cute little toenails but the plot and pace still made it very readable. I did it in a sitting
December 12, 2022
J’étais un peu dubitative au départ, poursuivre les cherub dans la présence de James, Kerry et Laurence me semblait un peu compliqué. Mais pari tenu pour l’auteur, on rencontre des personnages tous aussi attachant 😊
September 29, 2024
I remember reading this and thinking it sucked because of the new characters - but now I actually think they’ve been written really well so far. I’m looking forward to enjoying the same world with a bit of a change of scenery.
April 23, 2025
Keeping the promise I made to myself not to count re-reading...so even though I did read about 7 Cherub books that I'm not counting...this is the first time I've read the sequel series. And like I love it and especially loved Ning's portions (Ryan kind of annoys me) but not like the OG Cherub.

Malgré un changement de personnages principaux, la série continue de plus belle, prenant parfois un tournant un peu plus sombre. Excellent tome.
September 20, 2024
Just like every other CHERUB book this is fantastic. We are introduced to the main character (which is a bit sad seeing James go) who is very likeable and relatable. The plot is also very engaging to follow as the story of Ning keeps getting stranger and stranger which eventually led to another CHERUB recruit. Overall a very good read for people who want to be exited by a book and like the spy and young adult category.

It starts off with fu ning being kicked out of her overly strict boarding house, then her mum picks her up and hurriedly speeds drunkenly off. turns out nings dad was a human trafficker for brothels everywhere, selling girls as young as 12yrs old. The new James (Ryan) gets sent to his first big mission, to become friends with a boy whose mum has contacts in kyrgystan and is part of the family who owns the gang that live there. Ryan tries to engineer a friendship by getting 'Ethan' in trouble and then saving him. Ethan ends up getting run over, But Ryan saves his life with CPR. then Ethan's house gets attacked by people in tactical gear, Ryan saves Ethan, and Ethan snobby best friend gets killed by the guys in tac gear thinking that he was Ethan. Ethan's family take him to Kyrgystan and Ryan keeps in touch with Ethan from campus. The mission is still going on at the end of the book. Ning gets found in England and gets recruited to CHERUB.

Muchamore once again grips his audience with this tale of two very different characters whose worlds dramatically entwine in the action-lacked adventure ... sure to leave fans of action and adventure stories wanting more.
Banishing boredom forever!!!

Update - třetí nebo dokonce čtvrté čtení - CHERUB je láska. To je vše, co je potřeba říct.
♥
110 %
Re-reading dopadl skvěle, podle očekávání :)
Robert Muchamore se s námi ani na počátku druhé série nemazlí a okamžitě nás uvádí doprostřed dění.
Novým hrdinou druhé série se stává Ryan Sharma. Brzy má vyrazit na svou první velkolepou misi, která by měla pomoci odhalit mafiánské úmysly klanu, kterému šéfuje Leonid Aramov. Tajné služby mají podezření na propojení Kyrgyzského ústředí klanu na Gillian Kitsell, žijící v Kalifornii se svým synem Ethanem. Její pravé jméno zní Galenka Aramov. Ryan s agentem Tedem Braskerem a s Amy Collins, bývalou agentkou CHERUB se přesunou do Kalifornie, kde má Ryna za úkol spřátelit se s Ethanem a zjistit něco více o jeho matce. Jenže situace je složitější, než by se mohlo stát. Ethan je zakřiknutý šprt, který se přátelí pouze s Yannisem, který k němu prakticky nikoho jiného nepustí. Ryan proto musí vymyslet plán, jak by se mohl Ethanovi zalíbit. Ale jak je známo, plány se mohou během mise ošklivě zvrtnout.
Ryan není jediný, jehož příběh sledujeme. Další důležitou osobou je Fu Ning, čínská slečna, která nikdy nebyla moc dobrá v uznávání autorit a podřízení se tvrdému režimu čínských školáků. Jednoho dne se však její život obrátí naruby zatčením jejího adoptivního otce a jejím útěkem s Ingrid, adoptivní matkou. Jejich úprk však zhatí nepříjemné setkání s klanem Aramovových. Ning musí na své cestě ke svobodě podstoupit mnoho překážek a její dětství už nikdy nebude takové, jaké bývalo.
Robert Muchamore bude asi navždy mým srdcovým autorem. Jeho vyprávění a specifický jazyk používaný zejména mladými agenty je prostě k popukání a já se nikdy nepřestanu bavit nad CHERUBáckými knížkami, ačkoli jsou hrdinové mnohdy o spoustu let mladší než já.
Nebudu Ryana srovnávat s Jamesem. Řekněme jen, že oba mají jistě něco do sebe, jakožto hlavní protagonisté jsou dostatečně zajímaví a prostě vás baví. Ning je taky hrozně skvělá a statečná holka, mistryně v dětském boxu, která se hned tak něčeho nezalekne. Za svou 12letou existenci toho stihla zažít více než mnoho lidí za celý život a přesto si uchovala zdravý rozum, lidskost a i jakousi nevinnost.
Jsem ráda, že jsme se setkali i se známými tvářemi v podobě Amy Collins, sexy agentkou, která Jamese naučila plavat a byla jeho platonickou láskou po spoustu let.
V dalších dílech se snad dozvíme více i Ethanově životě a jak to s ním půjde dál.
Super je, že v tomto díle někteří z našich hrdinů navštíví i naši matičku zemi, Českou republiku :) Mám hrozně ráda, když se o ČR zmíní v zahraničních knihách, seriálech a tak podobně :)
První díl druhé série celkově hodnotím velice kladně. Možná přehnaně, ale já k téhle sérii mám prostě takový vztah a nic mě nepřesvědčí své názory přehodnotit.
Kniha je našlapaná akcí, vtipem i napětím a pokud máte rádi snadno oblíbitelné hrdiny, neuvěřitelné příběhy odehrávající se v našem světě jak ho známe a ne v nějaké budoucnosti, která ani nemusí nastat, rozhodně neuděláte chybu, když sáhnete po jakékoli knize Roberta Muchamora.

Re-reading dopadl skvěle, podle očekávání :)
Robert Muchamore se s námi ani na počátku druhé série nemazlí a okamžitě nás uvádí doprostřed dění.
Novým hrdinou druhé série se stává Ryan Sharma. Brzy má vyrazit na svou první velkolepou misi, která by měla pomoci odhalit mafiánské úmysly klanu, kterému šéfuje Leonid Aramov. Tajné služby mají podezření na propojení Kyrgyzského ústředí klanu na Gillian Kitsell, žijící v Kalifornii se svým synem Ethanem. Její pravé jméno zní Galenka Aramov. Ryan s agentem Tedem Braskerem a s Amy Collins, bývalou agentkou CHERUB se přesunou do Kalifornie, kde má Ryna za úkol spřátelit se s Ethanem a zjistit něco více o jeho matce. Jenže situace je složitější, než by se mohlo stát. Ethan je zakřiknutý šprt, který se přátelí pouze s Yannisem, který k němu prakticky nikoho jiného nepustí. Ryan proto musí vymyslet plán, jak by se mohl Ethanovi zalíbit. Ale jak je známo, plány se mohou během mise ošklivě zvrtnout.
Ryan není jediný, jehož příběh sledujeme. Další důležitou osobou je Fu Ning, čínská slečna, která nikdy nebyla moc dobrá v uznávání autorit a podřízení se tvrdému režimu čínských školáků. Jednoho dne se však její život obrátí naruby zatčením jejího adoptivního otce a jejím útěkem s Ingrid, adoptivní matkou. Jejich úprk však zhatí nepříjemné setkání s klanem Aramovových. Ning musí na své cestě ke svobodě podstoupit mnoho překážek a její dětství už nikdy nebude takové, jaké bývalo.
Robert Muchamore bude asi navždy mým srdcovým autorem. Jeho vyprávění a specifický jazyk používaný zejména mladými agenty je prostě k popukání a já se nikdy nepřestanu bavit nad CHERUBáckými knížkami, ačkoli jsou hrdinové mnohdy o spoustu let mladší než já.
Nebudu Ryana srovnávat s Jamesem. Řekněme jen, že oba mají jistě něco do sebe, jakožto hlavní protagonisté jsou dostatečně zajímaví a prostě vás baví. Ning je taky hrozně skvělá a statečná holka, mistryně v dětském boxu, která se hned tak něčeho nezalekne. Za svou 12letou existenci toho stihla zažít více než mnoho lidí za celý život a přesto si uchovala zdravý rozum, lidskost a i jakousi nevinnost.
Jsem ráda, že jsme se setkali i se známými tvářemi v podobě Amy Collins, sexy agentkou, která Jamese naučila plavat a byla jeho platonickou láskou po spoustu let.
V dalších dílech se snad dozvíme více i Ethanově životě a jak to s ním půjde dál.
